1.25" Diagonal for Skymax 127 SupaTrak? How does this look?

Hi all after listening to the discussions I have got this set up on my MAK. Is it ok? http://www.kespencer.btinternet.co.uk/ The hyperions are big but seem to be ok. Looked at the moon last night in my 13mm Hyperion and was blown away!!! Ken

That looks great to me Ken - keep everything done up reasonably tight so that the diagonal / eyepiece does not swivel around and hang downwards (has been known to happen with big eyepieces :shock: ). I think those diagonals use brass compression rings so it should not mark your eyepiece barrels unduly.

There have been some scopes about that had a recess machined in the diagonal and the eyepieces. The screw located in that. Best arrangement in my view - the screw has to be turned rather a lot before they can fall out.

A "safety undercut".
